Hi all,

as you might have noticed, we have a new member called Sexual Health Info replying to some of your sexual related medical matters.

This person has very kindly offered to answer any sex related medical questions, even if their answer is limited to telling you to go see a Dr in the real world.

Their identity is only known to AdminXXX and myself, they have been verified as being a qualified medical person operating in the area of public sexual health and we hope you will make them welcome.

Thanks in advance

World Aids Day NSW | Home

This World AIDS Day we are honouring the red ribbon the global symbol of HIV.

Twenty years ago, a small group of New York artists created a simple design which is now one of the most iconic symbols worldwide – the red ribbon. It is worn to show support for the millions of people living with HIV across the world.

30 years on HIV is still Here.

On World AIDS Day wear a red ribbon to recognise that HIV is still here and support those people living with HIV in NSW

I didn't say the answer would necessarily be the right one, nor perhaps what the questioner might want to hear lol

This is something I got out of the LA Times and which I have never previously heard discussed. Seems like something more to consider next time you go down on a woman...

Oral HPV rates higher in men than women: What is HPV?

By Amina Khan, Los Angeles Times

HPV infects the mouths of an estimated 7% of men and women from the ages of 14 to 69 in the U.S. -- and men have it at higher rates than women, according to a study out last week in the Journal of the American Medical Assn.

Just 3.6% of women studied for the paper had oral HPV, while 10.1% of men did. It's unclear why there's such a difference in infection rates, but it may have to do with oral sex practices, experts say. (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides some information specifically related to HPV and men.)

The findings may help explain why mouth and throat cancer rates have been climbing for nearly 25 years, according to the story by Times writer Shari Roan.

Human papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted disease, according to the CDC. It can infect a number of tissues, including the mouth, and more than 40 different types of the virus are known to infect the genitals. Because there are so many different types of the virus, it's possible to be infected with multiple strains at the same time.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the body often can fight off the infection before it causes warts -- and in any case, the two strains linked to cervical cancer typically don't cause warts, which may be why many people don't even realize they have it.

There are a few options for prevention, such as using condoms (though this does not protect against all forms of HPV) and vaccination (which protects against the viruses that cause most genital warts, as well as those most likely to cause cervical cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic).

Keep in mind, though, that even a vaccination doesn't provide absolute protection. A study I blogged about earlier this month found that a few girls erroneously believe that the HPV vaccineprotects against other STDs too.
